00:00A U.S. military official says Washington has paused arms sales to Taipei amid concerns over ammunition stockpiles due to
00:07the Iran war.
00:09We have done some military, foreign military sales to them.
00:13It's just right now we're doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for
00:19Epic Fury, which we have plenty.
00:21But we're just making sure we have everything, but then the foreign military sales will continue when the administration deems
00:29necessary, sir.
00:31The remark was made during a congressional hearing on Thursday.
00:34It comes amid concerns over U.S. commitment to Taiwan's defense after President Donald Trump suggested arms sales to Taiwan
00:41could be a bargaining chip with China.
00:43Taiwan's presidential office has responded to the latest developments.
01:10Lawmakers are reviewing a special defense budget bill, which will be used to buy U.S. weapon systems.
